I’ve been writing music and songs for several decades now, and every single time I finish a piece, I wonder if it was the last, if the well has run dry.

Well it sure didn’t happen this year. I can’t believe I put out so much stuff! Let’s see...

On the 21st or 22nd July 2023 (depending where you are in the world!) the concept of #BonkWave was born.

I am proud to have been part of the biggest Allstars line up yet, that came together to celebrate the first anniversary of this momentous day!

And I also contributed my very own Rugged scrublands version!
